Answer 1

Answer

Find out the number of video games that Jasmine can buy with her savings .

To proof

Let us assume that the number of video games Jasmine can buy  be x .

As given

Jasmine wants to use her savings of $1128 to buy video games and music CDs.

The total price of the music CDs she bought was $72. The video games cost $43 each.

Than the equation becomes

72 + 43× x = 1128

simplify

72 + 43x = 1128

43x = 1128 - 72

43x = 1056

$x = \frac{1056}{43}$

x = 24.6 (approx)

Take

x = 24

Therefore the maximum number of video games that Jasmine can buy with her savings be 24 .

Hence proved

Answer 2

She can buy 24 video games
1128-72=1056
1056/43=24
